ESV earnings ... (from YAHOO) ... anyone knows the estimates?? Ensco Intl. Inc. announced Dec. '97 fourth quarter earnings per diluted share of $0.55 vs $0.22 for the same period a year ago, and annual earnings of $1.64 vs $0.72 for the prior year. Estimates I saw were for $0.53 -- they beat it by 2 cents. All in all a very strong earnings report. The only potential fly in the ointment is their supply boat business. If there is any substance to the reports of supply boats coming into an oversupply this summer, it may have some negative impact on ESV -- though I'm told that many of their supply boats are dedicated to their own rigs.
